Just to be clear #StimulusChecks is the BARE MINIMUM of what the government should be doing. They should be ensuring
- Everyone gets paid until pandemic is done.
- Creating long term federal jobs programs for all. #JobsAndCare
- Cancelling Rent.
It’s actually simple.
This is the richest country in the world, you could have found the money somewhere. Also legit Ron Johnson’s seat is up in 2022 just saying.
How about we give the people’s furlough to Ron Johnson how about he don’t get paid for the next 4 months and his check is redistributed to people suffering?
Also whilst Pence is naming Space Force?!? What?!?
I am so angry, if it wasn’t for the god damn covid rates going up I would be planning Christmas Day actions at these Senators houses singing carols & embarrass the ish out of them...
On the first day of Xmas my government gave to me, no way to save my family.

One thing I’m going to be talking a lot more about is COVID how it felt, how it’s absolutely Fucked me up. Not for a pity party but let’s actually talk about the lasting physical and metal effects
For one. Let me tell you for someone whose said for years Im tired, I’ll never say it again in the same framing.
Also there’s NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. It’s not like the flu my b. I had to just try a bunch of things and mentally being in New York I basically prayed to my ancestors that I wouldn’t die.
September 11th was my fourth day of High School in Manhattan coming from Staten Island.
This day is painful for many reasons but to name a few....
Staten Island lost the most people per capita in the city. I remember friends waiting outside their porches for their first responder family members. when I finally got to go back to the island almost a week later
I hate absolutely hate what this city and country did to Muslim, Arab and other folks living in this country that fit the stereotype and narrative of what the admin was selling. DHS was started on the basis of discrimination and harm
First thank you to the NYC journalists that have been reporting about this but let’s do a thread on why EVERYONE INCLUDING COUNCIL MEMBERS. Are facing retribution to supporting a real #DefundNYPD

So let’s recount the NYPD is actively targeting anyone who was at #occupycityhall we occupied at the end of June they kicked us out in July and they STAY KIDNAPPING and targeting folks
I wasn’t just only at #OccupyWallStreet I actually put in work on the ground unlike some folks on twitter dot com. I’m also a lifelong New Yorker who grew up under Mike’s tenure as mayor. And this is a 🧵 about Michael Rubens Bloomberg 1/
Ok, so Bloomberg gets elected to Mayor in 2001, as a Republican. This is two months after 9/11 I was a freshman in high school and my school was in Manhattan (just giving you context) this is years after a Giuliani administration (Im sorry y’all)
Bloomberg comes into office while being the one of the world’s 🌍 richest men. Financial, software, data & mass media company that is named Bloomberg. This stapel is the Bloomberg terminal, a software system providing financial data that is used widely in finance 3/
So I’m on vacation but I see Hurricane Maria trending so I wanted to give some light to this situation. So the reporting say 4600 people died because of Hurricane Maria and I’m going to break it down for why it’s not just the Hurricane.
1. Let’s take it back with some facts Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States and has been since 1917 (Puerto rico before that was owned by Spain and there was the Treaty of Paris but that’s for a different day).
2. Puerto Rico for many years was known as a “commonwealth” which means it is an owner property of the United States where people born there have what I call “citizenship lite” meaning you get a passport but no vote in Congress, Senate or for who serves as President of the US
